Story
Meet Ellie  (Bonded with Freddie) Ellie is an 11-year-old sweetheart weighing just 15–17 pounds, and she’s bonded with her best friend Freddie. These two share a special connection and are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. Ellie is house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to the right family. She’s partially leash trained and would benefit from a little patience and gentle guidance on walks. She does well with children and other dogs, but she would do best in a home without cats. At her age, Ellie is all about the simple joys — cozy beds, soft blankets, and being close to the people she loves. She still has so much love to give and is hoping to spend her golden years safe, comfortable, and cherished. If you’re ready to open your heart to Ellie and Freddie, they’re ready to fill your home with double the love.  To adopt this amazing pair, go to www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application on a laptop or computerIf you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Freddie (Bonded with Ellie) Freddie is a 7-year-old, 15–17 lb sweetheart who is bonded with his best girl, Ellie. These two are a package deal and share a beautiful, comforting bond that makes them truly special. Freddie is neutered, house trained, and crate trained, making him a wonderful and easy companion. He’s partially leash trained and would thrive with a little continued guidance and consistency on walks. He does great with children and other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats. Freddie has the perfect mix of gentle maturity and playful spirit. He loves being close to his people and finds comfort in having Ellie by his side. Together, they balance each other perfectly and bring a calm, loving energy wherever they go. Their owner is committed to keeping them safe and cared for until a foster or adopter is found — but they truly deserve a forever home where they can stay together and be cherished for years to come. If you’re ready to welcome double the love, Freddie and Ellie are waiting for you.

Story
Meet Maximus 🐾💛 Don’t let the name fool you—this 1.5-year-old boy is as compact as he is charming, weighing in at just about 35 pounds! Found as a stray, it’s clear Maximus has lived in a home before and is already familiar with the comforts of indoor life. Maximus is friendly, social, and loves spending time with people. He’s a big fan of toys—especially anything he can toss around or play tug with—and he’s highly motivated by treats 🦴✨ Like many young dogs, he still has some playful puppy energy, but it comes out in fun, joyful bursts that make him a total riot to be around. Maximus has the potential to live with both dogs and cats with proper introduction 🐕🐱 He’s a great fit for someone looking for a small-to-medium sized companion with a big personality and lots of love to give. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, apartment-sized best friend, Maximus might just be your perfect match 💛

Pongo is absolutely adorable and honestly… we have no clue what his mix actually is. Whatever combination he is, it worked out perfectly because he’s the ideal size and packed full of love, personality, and fun. Saved from Texas and now safe with us, Pongo is a happy, outgoing boy who loves people and does great with other dogs. He has a playful energy about him and is always ready to join in on whatever is going on, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out soaking up attention. Pongo is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. If you’re looking for a friendly, lovable dog with a goofy personality and endless charm, Pongo might just be your guy.

Story
My name is Chubbs and I am looking for a forever home.  Me and my brother Kilo & sister Bristol were given up by our owner to a small rescue after she fell on some really hard times and was not able to take care of us.  We are some type of scruffy terrier mix and are 3 years old; I am the smallest at just a little over 20lbs.  We get along with each other but we are not looking to get adopted together ... in fact, we would really all like to find our own home and make our own way.  When we first came into foster, it was kind of scary and we were shy and skittish, but it didn't take any of us long to learn that our foster parents were nice, we get good food and treats on a regular basis (all of us are pretty food motivated), and we have come out of our shells loving the routine.  I can be a little bossy sometimes with other dogs so a proper introduction to new dogs is always recommended.  I have I have done well in my crate as long as I am able to get out on a regular basis to take care of my business and haven't torn up any of my bedding; however, I would prefer to be out and about and will let you know not to forget about me if I see or hear you.  I'm a typical terrier in that I do have lots of energy and love running around outside and exploring so a fenced yard would be extra nice.  I'm good on leash once I have learned to trust you and then would love to go on walks or even hikes.  If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj. orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Story
 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)       Handsome Chicho- 3 months, from Puerto Rico. All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.   Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate! If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events. Our weekend locations are: Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent  Follow us on FB, Zani's Furry Friends ZFF, for latest updates. Usually we are in our foster homes so all this is a bit more stressful but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer. And you can always donate:) Cats and Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD w/ all age appropriate shots and microchipped.
